Mr.. Winter, Of the Townsville Enter
prise, who was at the meeting held at
Monticello, Fla, for the purpose of CON
sidering the proposition to build rail-
road from that place to connect with one
from Thomasville, says: The day was
rainy, but even the inclement weather
did not prevent good attendance At
first we thought the people were luke
warm in the matter, and we began to
fear that the result would be the loss OF
this important link. When the meeting
came to order, however. and old subscrIp-
tons were doubled and new ones made,
our ideas underwent change. With
but little work on the part of the COM
mittee SIS, 900 IN money and lands have
been subscribed, fully half enough to
secure the road; and we regard its sue
cess as assured"

To RAISE The SEMINOLE.
Capt StrObhar's Story of the
Steamers Sinking.

Capt. StrObhar's Story OF the
Steamers Sinking.
Capt. Strobhar, of the steamer Semi
mole, OF the Savannah and Beaufort line,
which was sunk at the mouth OF Ram
Horn creek, $. G., on Wednesday night,
left yesterday with the tug Levi Davis
and two lighters for the scene of the
wreck. He expects TO have the vessel
raised by Monday.
Capt. Strobhar's story of the disaster
differs materially from that of the passen-
gers. He says that the steamer did not
sink for an hour and a half after she
struck, and that no passengers fell over
board in getting into the small boat. One
of them, he says. stepped overheard in at
tempting to land on the island.
The accident, the Captain says, was
caused by q strong ebb tide and heavy
northwest wind. The steamer failed to
respond to her rudder. and finding that
she would go broadside on the wreck, he
prevented her sinking Immediately by
letting her go show on" The wreck on
which the vessel struck is that of an iron
steamboat sunk during the late war to
Obstruct the channel.
